Strawberry picking

More berries.

We went to Bowman Orchards again this weekend. This time, we didn't pick any berries, but we bought some. I ate half of the blackberries before we even got home. I got to play in the orchard playground and look at their animals. They have cows, horses, goats and sheep. But my favorite were the pigs, who rolled in the mud and ate berries, too! They were fun, even if they were smelly.

Fairberry Sunday

Today was a busy day. I went with Mom and Dad, and Grandma 'n 'Pa to the Saratoga County Fair. We saw bunnies and goats, cows and horses. Even a couple of reindeer! You know what kind of animal they don't have at the fair? Camels. Trust me, I looked. But they did have cotton candy, so they made up for it. After the Fair we had breakfast at Lakeside Farms, then all headed over to Bowman Orchards to pick blueberries. I was eating blueberries right off the bush, and they were the biggest, best blueberries I've ever had! There was also girl there about my age, named Kiya. We ran around for a little while and hid in the blueberry bushes. Then I went home and took a nap.

The Blackberry kid.

Mom and Dad took me to the Schenectady Farmers Market this morning. There was a 5-piece jazz band playing and lots of people buying fresh vegetables and fruits, breads, cheese, and other stuff. Dad bought cucumbers and garlic for his gazpacho recipe and some fresh mozzarella to add to his tomato salad. Mom asked the lady at the fruit stand if I could try a blackberry, since I'd never had one before. Guess what? I loved it. Then I proceeded to eat almost a half-pint of my new favorite fruit.
